Special Equipment_________________________
High (not wide) Saucepan with cover
Bowl w/ice cubes & water (large enough to
completely cover eggs)

*note: water should cover the eggs by 1 inch, so use a tall pan, and limit
cooking to 2 dozen eggs at a time.

1. Lay the eggs in the pan and add the amount of cold water specified. Set
over high heat and bring just to the boil; remove from heat, cover the pan,
and let sit exactly 17 minutes.

2. When the time is up, transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice cubes and
water. Chill for 2 minutes while bringing the cooking water to the boil
again. (This 2 minute chilling shrinks the body of the egg from the shell.)

3. Transfer the eggs (6 at a time only) to the boiling water, bring to the
boil again, and let boil for 10 seconds - this expands the shell from the
egg. Remove eggs, and place back into the ice water.


Chilling the eggs promptly after each step prevents that dark line from
forming, and if time allows, leave the eggs in the ice water after the last
step for 15 to 20 minutes. Chilled eggs are easier to peel, as well.

The peeled eggs will keep perfectly in the refrigerator, submerged in water
in an uncovered container, for 2 to 3 days.

Answer 3

Hard boiled - start timing as soon as the water starts to boil -13 minutes.
Soft boiled - 5 to 10 minutes

Altitude also makes a difference - at sea level the eggs may only take 10 minutes (I live in the mountains -around 3500 ft.)

Answer 4

If you need exact timing, it sounds to me like you need to do some trial and error runs. It will depend on the size of the egg you use. A small egg will be cooked much sooner than an extra large egg.
I'd grab a pan, a kitchen timer, and a dozen eggs and get to that investigating.

Answer 5

I just put some egss in water and put it on the stove on high and boil them for about 10 minutes to make sure they're done. Put a teaspoon of vinegar in the water and when they're done set the pan in the sink and run cold water over them and crack it against the sink and then peel it. The vinegar will help the shell come off easier.
